E-SPACE is hiring a

Satellite Systems Engineer

Saratoga, United States
Full-Time
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
 
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
 
By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.
 
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

What is this role: 
As a Satellite Systems Engineer, you will coordinate and perform key engineering activities at the satellite system level including requirements development, architecture development, systems budgets, interconnect, assembly, testing, flight operations, schedule, etc. You must have more that 10 years of experience in space engineering and at least 5 years in a systems engineering role. 
 
This position will work closely with many other engineering disciplines including Systems, Software, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering teams.  This role is based in our Saratoga, CA office. 
 
What you will do: 
·        Requirements capture, tracking and compliance at the mission/system/sub-system levels 
·        Develop mission details and con-ops for both space and ground segments 
·        Manage hardware and software interface definitions and harnessing 
·        Own the overall system budget including link, data, power and compliance within established requirements 
·        Track all system/mission risks and mitigations 
·        Plan and coordinate Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) activities of the spacecraft 
·        Coordinate and prepare satellite launch activities 
·        Support satellite operations including satellite procedure definition and testing 
·        Conduct and prepare overall system FMEA analysis, FDIR definition and verification 
 
What you bring to this role: 
 
·        Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering 
·        10+ years of experience in space engineering and at least 5 years of Systems Engineering 
·        Deep knowledge of satellite sub-systems, having designed and tested at least one of them 
·        Experience in requirements management and risk management 
·        Experience in satellite environmental testing such as vibration, shock, thermal and TVAC 
·        Familiarity with satellite AIT workflow 
·        Familiarity with satellite launch, early operations and commissioning 
·        Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment 
Bonus points:  
·        Master’s degree in engineering 
·        Electrical and software interface management 
·        Experience with Ansys STK 
·        Experience with software programming 
·        Understanding of designing electronic hardware from concept through production 
·        Experience with radiation effects and testing 
·        Project/program management skills 


We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
